Big Diamonds

[RHCDrift]

Ive been searching around and cant seem to find anything but maybe someone on here has a picture that can help me.

Im looking at getting a set of diamond racing pros made to replace my stitchmesh, and im considering 18x9.5 +6 and 18x10+6 since i need something a little bigger to look proper with my works9 aero. I am kinda worried that 18's will look far too oversized in that style of wheel, but havent found any examples since everyone runs them fairly small. If anyone has some pictures of 18' diamonds on an s-chassis or any car really they would be appreciated...thanks.

I 2nd This, As I Haven't Seen It Done Yet Neither.

ok, well one more question then. How are they for quality? Does anyone else drift on them, and how have they held up?

[danshaz82]

zerothread/289070im not sure if that helps or not

[RHCDrift]

yea i already looked at that thanks, but the more i do the more im starting to think maybe ill just get some 17's and run some flares and shoot for a stance like that.

I dont think anyone has ever gone all the way to 18 with diamonds.And IMO if you are doing any of the vented wheels they will look stupid that big.But thats just my opinion.Ive always thought vented wheels suited to be relatively small.14 - 16.

But i suppose until i actually see it in person i cant really judge, so go for it and maybe itll start a new trend.Big Vented Wheels

i think running sportmax are cooler than running those heavy a** steel wheels.

you have cool aero. buy cool wheels.

sportmax wont get me anywhere near the fitment i want.

this is how im sitting now

obviously my aero isnt on yet, but my 17's are gonna look just too small with aggressive aero like the works9.

[ZX88]

those are cool. i think they will look good with works9. 18s are too much in the front on a s13. 17 and 18 in stagard would look super sick.

This guy speaks the truth.

Are you serious???!! Your wheels look 7231812938x better than diamond wheels. Just get some 15-20mm spacers/camber and your car will look

[AZ89two4Tsx]

You want steelies instead of those current wheels? 18" steelies?!?! Lol dude, don't do it. If you do, you're retarded. Your car looks great as is. Don't ruin it! I beg you!

Oh yea, whoever said 18s are too big up front is wrong!

[RHCDrift]

the other problem i have is my wheels are only 9j width i want something a bit wider so i dont have to rely on 25mm of spacers to get my look. More importantly Im going gt28 this winter, and i was still getting consistent understeer last year with a sold tire while drifting so that bit of extra tire for handlings sake and for the power would be nice.

I dont know what the hell you are talking about.

But this fitment looks almost perfect.

Your car will seem nice and low with the ground FX on.Dont bother going 18 esp up front.Stick with what you have, or find a set of 18s for the back.But IMO that car just looks mean mean mean.

[keith0486]

just buy a pair of 18 x10 in what you have if they got any and you will be fine. you wheels look hot on your car dont ditch them for s***ty steel wheels.

[RHCDrift]

thanks for the good words guys, lets me know i was doing atleast something right. I was considering keeping the stitchmesh and getting the spokes powder coated kinda of an electric blue colour.

i did throw the bumper on quick just to test it and its not too awful def need some spacers tho.

[keith0486]

wow looks good cant wait to see how it looks with the full kit on. you going to keep it the same color or change the color all together?

[RHCDrift]

ive considered it but i think this maybe the last year for this car, ive been waiting a good while for the 1996 jzx100 chaser to be legal for import so that maybe my new drift chassis after this year....but if i had to pick a colour ive been slowly becoming very interested in that new brown colour on the toyota venza thats got some gold flake in it or something. It looks amazing in the sun.

Other than that im not too sure.

[keith0486]

that brown would look sick with gold wheels.
